Supernova Zagreb - Buzin
62 Av. Većeslava HoljevcaAnother shopping mall really close to my place, with plenty of shops and places to eat (fast food and similar food court).
This is the biggest pet shop store in Zagreb, you can find it on three locations, but this is the closest to the apartment!
Pet centar

This is the closest farmers' market, where you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy products, meat, fish, bread etc. It is not as vibrant and colourful as the Dolac market in the city centre, but it is still worth visiting, especially if you are staying longer, care about what you eat and don't want to eat fruits & veg from the supermarkets :)

Great small store with organic, Croatian products, some of which make great souvenirs. Also great for everyday grocery shopping (dairy products, bread, jams, meat, some gluten free products etc.).

Jarun Lake is a retreat from city life, and it is still relatively close to the city centre. 250 hectares of man-made lakes and beaches await you for swimming, sunbathing and enjoying water sports. Apart from that, here you can jog, ride a bike, row, walk a dog (on a leash), play with your children, barbecue, and even ride horses at the nearby horse riding place.
Take note: it is very popular in the summer and all the beaches and bars are full of people, so if you are not really a people person, Jarun may not be the place for you.
